Mid package-ambient footwell lighting

[JS77]

I noticed that cabin lighting was rather dark at night. Was kind of disappointed that the dash lighting was dimmer than I like. Discover that the footwell lighting can be turned on at night. Love this feature. You can control brightness too. Love discovering these features.

I felt like it was too dim at full brightness so I remedied it

Why do you want to see your feet at night?

Its not really bright from the seated position, but I don’t typically drive with them on anyway.

That’s a good question, never really thought about it. I’d have to ask whoever invented ambient footwell lighting.

The less light you have near your eyes at night, the better your night vision will be. Fog lights at night for instance actually decrease your nighttime driving visibility because they brighten up the road right in front of you. Having that big screen on full brightness is not the best.

Haha - My wife and I have this debate all the time.

My line of thinking comes from four years of officer of the deck night bridge watches, where every light is red and turned way down or off so you have better night vision. She has the instrument and display lights turned all the way up on her Audi Q3 so she can see them (doesn't believe in letting her eyes adjust), and there is no control knob - just some fifteen click double secret back door swipey way to turn it back down so I can see without distraction.

At least on my non-lcd display old skool '08 JK we can just crank it to the lowest setting when I am driving, and the highest when she is driving...

this.

I was about to say the same.

I had an 08 Saab that introduced me to nighttime driving mode. where it basically turns off all the gauges & radio controls except for MPH, and whatever does stay on gets dimmed. Ever since that car (which I sold to get the Bronco) I dim all my clusters as much as I can. The footwell lighting was one of the first things I turned off and I dimmed the screen as much as I could in night mode.

BMWs were known for this too with their amber or red interior gauges. Red light is fine at night and protects your night vison. Saabs were designed by aircraft designers I think? that would explain their thought out nighttime lighting situation. I dont have my Bronco yet, but hoping for a dark mode.

Any one know the Ford Part Number for the ambient footwell lighting? I won't be able to get the Mid Package for the Big Bend since I am getting the manual tranny - and would like to add it afterwards.

Wow okay, DAD. I bet any brighter you would get pulled over
